Trump says he wants Mexico to pay for building a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico.

The press, Hillary, liberal Democrats, and even the Mexican president say Mexico will not pay for the wall.

A very simple way to get Mexico to pay for the wall is to use the federal aid our government gives Mexico.

Between 2010 and 2016, the United States gave Mexico $2,21 billion in foreign aid. The plan is to give them another $134.6 million in 2017.

So, from 2017 until completed, every dollar slated for Mexico’s foreign aid, will go into a fund to pay for construction of The Wall.
